Testimonials

“Ciara is amazing! Makes everything understandable and takes her time explaining what is needed when starting a business. I honestly had no idea and was actually very overwhelmed even thinking about the accounts side of things. Well, not anymore! The best decision I could have made is working with Ciara!”

Danielle, Business Owner

“I was asked to beta-test this course as a new sole trader. I’ve always been the type of person who is intimidated by numbers and finds the accounts side of running my business very daunting. The topics on this course are so well-explained with no jargon in sight. It was easy to understand and follow along. Being able to work through the course in my own time allowed me the opportunity to reflect on everything I’d learned without becoming overwhelmed. I would recommend this course and working with Ciara to any small business owner. ”
